Post 1 - Beyond the Roadmap: Where Logic Meets Leadership

 



Hello, I’m Yair Han. I spent my days at the intersection of AI, automotive safety, and high-stakes program leadership. This blog is where I step back from the roadmaps to explore the philosophy and logic behind the technology and leadership. Pleased to e-meet you.

With over 15 years of experience at the forefront of AI-driven mobility and safety-critical systems, I am a Senior Technical Leader dedicated to bridging the gap between complex engineering and global business success. My career is defined by navigating the high-stakes intersection of hardware, software, and automotive regulation, having led over 30 global production programs from initial proof-of-concept to mass market Start of Production (SOP).

As a Senior Director at Mobileye, I have built and mentored multidisciplinary divisions of over 40 professionals, fostering a culture of execution excellence and radical transparency. I specialize in "rescue operations", restoring trust with global OEMs like Ford and Audi through data-anchored decision-making and predictable governance. My technical foundation in real-time systems, signal processing, and C++ architecture is complemented by a deep commitment to safety standards, holding certifications as both a PMP® and a SOTIF Engineer (ISO 21448).

Beyond the technical roadmaps, I am a student of the philosophy of leadership. I believe that true intelligence, whether human or artificial, requires a partnership between logic and intuition. My goal is to continue architecting the future of robotics and AI while mentoring the next generation of leaders to imagine further past their own code.

I’m glad you’re here. I write these posts to start conversations, not just to finish thoughts, so please, share your perspective in the comments.


Yair

Over the years, I’ve seen leadership described as vision, authority, inspiration, decisiveness, empathy, courage, or simply “getting things done through people.” The truth is uncomfortable: leadership is all of these, depending on the moment, and sometimes none of them when you least expect it. At its core, leadership is not a role. It’s not a title on a business card or a box in an org chart. Leadership is a relationship. It exists only when other people choose, consciously or not, to follow your direction, trust your judgment, or rely on your decisions. What makes someone a leader in general? Three things stand out consistently. First, clarity . People don’t follow perfection, they follow clarity. A leader doesn’t need all the answers, but must be able to articulate where we’re going, why it matters, and what “good” looks like. In uncertain environments, clarity is calming. It gives pe...
